TEXIN DP7-1198
Thermoplastic Polyurethane
Aromatic Polyether-Based Grade

Product Information

Description and Application

Texin DP7-1198 resin is an aromatic polyether-based thermoplastic polyurethane. It is processed by injection molding, extrusion, or blow molding. Texin DP7-1198 is characterized by outstanding abrasion resistance, impact strength, toughness, and flexibility. Typical applications include gaskets, hose, tubing, connectors, belting and miscellaneous molded articles. As with any product, use of Texin DP7-1198 resin in a given application must be tested (including but not limited to field testing) in advance by the user to determine suitability.
Storage, Drying and Regrind Usage

The use of regrind material should be avoided entirely in those applications where resin properties equivalent to virgin material are required, but not limited to color quality, impact strength, resin purity and/or load-bearing performance.
Injection Molding, Extrusion and Blow Molding Conditions

Texin thermoplastic polyurethane resins are hygroscopic and will absorb ambient moisture. The resins should remain in their sealed containers and be stored in a dry area. Storage temperature should not exceed 86F (30C). Unused resin from opened containers, or reground material that is not to be used immediately, should be stored in sealed containers under cool and dry conditions. Prior to processing, Texin DP7-1198 resin must be thoroughly dried for a minimum of 2 hours in a desiccant dehumidifying hopper dryer to a moisture content of less than 0.03%. Hopper inlet air temperature should be 210 230F (100110C), the inlet air dew point should be -20F (-29C) or lower. Where end-use requirements permit, up to 20% Texin regrind may be used with virgin material. Regrind material must be generated from properly molded/extruded parts, sprues, runners, trimmings, and/or films. Degraded or discolored material may not be used for regrind. All regrind material must be free of contaminations and thoroughly blended with virgin material prior to drying and processing. Finished parts containing regrind must be tested to ensure that end-use requirements are fully met.

Typical starting conditions for injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding are noted below. Actual processing conditions will depend on machine size, mold design, material residence time, shot size, part geometry, etc.
